Stellantis UK’s Post

With deep sadness, Stellantis announces the passing of Mark Pickles, Parts & Service Director. Mark’s career began in Retail, with five years at Hartwell, latterly as a Dealership Aftersales Manager, before joining Groupe PSA in 2000 as Area Aftersales Manager. He had significant experience running functions including Parts Sales, Quality and Aftersales Marketing. His career included Managing Director of Free2Move, Parts & Service Director for Peugeot and then Group Aftersales Operations Director when the Groupe PSA brands consolidated their aftersales functions. In 2021 he became Parts & Service Director for Stellantis. Maria Grazia Davino, Group Managing Director, said: “Mark’s role in the company was far beyond his functional responsibilities. With such a wide experience, he brought a broader perspective to the business and to the wider industry and was held in high esteem by me and his colleagues, both within the company and his peers outside. He was a strong advocate of fostering new talent and was extremely generous with his time and experience to mentor new colleagues. His passing leaves a great gap in the hearts and minds of all of us here in Stellantis. All in the company send their deepest sympathies to his wife and his family at this extremely sad time.” MariaGrazia Davino Andy Kite Stephanie Howson Eurig Druce Greg Taylor Damien Dally James Taylor Jules Tilstone Kristian Cholmondeley Jeremy Townsend Nicola Dobson Lindsey Thompson Francesco Abbruzzesi
